New survey say Brit turn into a dad at 38... Top ten signs that you are a dad (sadly none are golf related)


Top ten signs you could be turning into your father:

1. Fall asleep in the front room

2. They have ‘a chair’

3. Dad dancing

4. Spend time in the shed

5. Making awful jokes that only they find funny

6. Don’t know any artists in the top 40

7. Spending longer on the toilet

8. Keeping an eye on the thermostat

9. Excited about appliance sales

10. Embarrassing younger members of the family or children and thinking it’s funny
How many can you tick off?

Being 37, means I only have a few months to 1) get myself a chair, 2) ignore all radio stations other than Radio 4 and 3) replace the fridge, freezer, Hoover, washer, telly and dryer.

whats the old saying.....

The day I realised my Dad was right, was the day my son starting saying I was wrong (something like that)

You missed several others...

When you start telling your kids exactly the same words your Dad said to you!

When you get home from work and spend the next 4 hours taxi-ing

1. Fall asleep in the front room - Been doing that since I was 15...

2. They have ‘a chair’ - We don't have any chairs but I do have an ass-groove in the big sofa

3. Dad dancing - I still bounce about like I am at a rave

4. Spend time in the shed - Does an attic workshop count?

5. Making awful jokes that only they find funny - See no.1

6. Don’t know any artists in the top 40 - See no.1

7. Spending longer on the toilet - Nope

8. Keeping an eye on the thermostat - Nope

9. Excited about appliance sales - Nope

10. Embarrassing younger members of the family or children and thinking it’s funny - See no.1 (my niece hates me for it)

Along the same lines

It's the realisation halfway through the sentence that they are exactly the same words that's 'scary'. Laughing in the middle of a lecture rather destroys both party's concentration!

Cat Stevens's Father and Son is still relevant.
